It seems like something from James Bond: to be able to track objects moving when they are out of view hidden around a corner. And yet this is exactly what researchers have managed to do. A team from Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, has developed a camera that logs individual photons, which allows them to track objects moving out of sight.
